Opportunity Summary:
The OVW FY 2012 Consolidated Grant and Technical Assistance Program to Address Children and Youth Experiencing Domestic and Sexual Violence and Engage Men and Boys as Allies (Funding Opportunity Number OVW 2012 3381) is a discretionary cooperative agreement program run by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW). It combines and continues work that used to be funded through four separate OVW programs: Grants to Assist Children and Youth Exposed to Violence (CEV), Services to Advocate for and Respond to Youth (Youth Services), the Secondary Schools STEP program (Services, Training, Education and Policies to Reduce Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, and Stalking in Secondary Schools), and the Engaging Men program. By consolidating these streams, OVW aimed to make it easier for communities to build coordinated efforts across victim services, prevention, schools, youth-serving systems, and initiatives that actively involve men and boys in preventing violence.
At its core, the opportunity is designed to strengthen local and tribal collaboration. OVW emphasizes partnerships among nonprofit victim service providers, violence prevention organizations, child and youth-serving agencies, schools, organizations that support mens roles in ending violence against women and girls, and tribal, local, and county government entities. The idea is that communities will be better positioned to protect children and youth and prevent future violence when these groups plan and operate together instead of working in isolation.
The program supports projects under one or both of two primary purpose areas. The first purpose area funds what the solicitation calls Comprehensive Projects. These are child- and youth-centered prevention and intervention efforts addressing domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. A key requirement is that funded Comprehensive Projects address a continuum of strategies, specifically prevention, intervention, treatment, and response. In practice, that can include direct victim services for children and youth exposed to violence, training for professionals so they recognize and respond more effectively, coordinated school-based strategies, supportive services for non-offending parents, and broader coordinated community responses focused on violence affecting children and youth. OVW highlights community-based efforts and evidence-informed practices, signaling that applicants should build on approaches with credible support and tailor them to local realities.
The second purpose area supports Engaging Men and Boys Projects, which focus on multi-faceted prevention strategies that enlist men and boys as active allies. These projects emphasize community organizing, outreach, public education, and mobilization, using men as influencers of other men and boys. The goal is to shift community norms and reduce perpetration by encouraging men and boys to work alongside women and girls to prevent domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. Rather than treating men only as potential offenders or bystanders, this purpose area encourages programming that equips them to lead, speak out, and help change peer culture.
A technical assistance component is also built into the solicitation. OVW planned to fund training and technical assistance to support the grantees awarded under this program, with capacity-building that can meet the diverse needs of eligible entities and address issues across all program purpose areas. This reflects an expectation that grantees may need ongoing help with implementation, collaboration, training models, prevention strategy development, and navigating the practical challenges of coordinating across agencies and systems.
In terms of funding details, OVW estimated a total of $10,000,000 available under this opportunity, with an expected 10 awards. The award ceiling was $1,000,000, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The CFDA number listed is 16.888. The opportunity was posted on August 28, 2012, with an application closing date of October 24, 2012, and it was archived on November 23, 2012. Because the funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, awardees should expect substantial federal involvement compared to a standard grant, such as closer coordination with OVW on project goals, reporting, and implementation support.
Eligible applicants included city or township governments, county governments, federally recognized tribal governments, other tribal organizations, and nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) nonprofits and certain nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education as specified). The activity category is framed around victim services, but the program clearly spans both services and prevention, including school and community-based strategies and the engagement of men and boys as part of a broader violence prevention approach.
